The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Widerski, Betty" <address@concealed>]

"When you put your mouse cursor over the link, does the destination it shows 
(usually in the lower left corner of your browser window) match what you 
expect? (you could do "view source" or something too, but that's more 
difficult). I don't know what sympa does here, but I suspect it's getting 
rewritten or is relative vs absolute and not matching what you expect."

No - the link has the correct coloring, but mousing over does not reveal any 
actual URL.  Yes, I suspect everything inside Sympa is relative to itself. So 
will need to work out a redirect to the nonSympa WWW and link from there.

When you put your mouse cursor over the link, does the destination it shows 
(usually in the lower left corner of your browser window) match what you 
expect? (you could do "view source" or something too, but that's more 
difficult). I don't know what sympa does here, but I suspect it's getting 
rewritten or is relative vs absolute and not matching what you expect.
